Actor Kim Min-seok perfectly depicts the coming-of-age of X-generation youth, adding vitality to the Typhoon Family drama.
In Typhoon Family, the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama that began airing on the 11th, Kim Min-seok has drawn attention by portraying the growth pains of youth from the free-spirited X generation of 1997 to those who faced the IMF.
Typhoon Family is a drama that depicts the struggle and growth of novice corporate salesman Kang Tae-poong, who became the president of a trading company with no employees, no money and nothing to sell after the 1997 IMF. In episode 4, which aired on the 19th, Typhoon Family set a personal best with a nationwide household average rating of 9% (Nielsen Korea) and rose to first place among cable and general programming channels in its time slot, showing a clear upward trend.
In the drama, Kim Min-seok plays Wang Nam-mo, the protagonist Tae-poong's (played by Lee Junho) close friend, adding vitality to the drama in every episode. Portraying the carefree "X generation" as the "Apstreet Boys" who ruled Apgujeong at the time together with Tae-poong, Kim Min-seok evoked deep loyalty in episode 2 by keeping vigil at Tae-poong's father's funeral and moved viewers in episode 3 by bravely presenting a bouquet to his mother, who unexpectedly faced retirement.
Kim Min-seok skillfully elevated immersion by portraying how a once free-spirited youth endures intense growing pains in the whirlpool of the IMF foreign exchange crisis. In episode 4, as the dream of becoming a singer was crushed with news of elimination from the music competition finals, curiosity is growing about what kind of path Nam-mo, the youth portrayed by Kim Min-seok in this turbulent era, will show next.
Following his presence as a leading star who drove box office success through the Tving original Shark: The Storm and the film Noise earlier this year, Kim Min-seok is meeting viewers every week in Typhoon Family, aiming for another streak of hits.
Typhoon Family, in which Kim Min-seok appears, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m. on tvN.<
